DS2500s weren't enough for me man thats all Im saying. ...


Cool about DBA, let me know! They gotta be two piece. Right now the Stoptech Aero's are looking very nice from a price standpoint.

Well you can't daily drive with the DS3000s or they will eat your rotors up fast and squeal like mad. Plus they need heat before they start to stop better, so your car would be a insurance claim waiting to happen with those on the street.

Which is why Im not buying either of those. I'm going to buy dedicated track pads...

And the DS3000s are dedicated track pads?

I get that you like those pads. They aren't the best out there though, there are much better pads for the money.

he must me great with the ladies.
hey girl...whats ur name
girl: get lost
u will like me!
girl: creep
feel my brake pad!

:shakes head:

You could also fabricate a brake cooling kit :)

Just get some flexible HVAC tubes to channel air to the inner wheel. It can greatly reduce heat soak.

I do not own a Z yet but on my current car I have this setup because I drive down a super steep moutain for about 15-20 miles every week-end and my rotors seem to handle much better. You can even have the air be channeled onto the rotor but that will affect many things.

Surprised no one has mentioned this!

I have a question actually. is there a short tube stillen setup? i see the pipes come in two pieces. Like dual SRI's?

Another thing you can try is get a beatrush under panel. It reduces engine temp and increases downforce by pulling the air out of the engine bay depending on your speed. this could also take some of the heat from your brakes and suck it out before you hit the brakes. the only problem with getting the underpanel is that if you have a brake cooling system it might suck out some of the air being fed to the rotors, inner wheel.

just some thoughts,

Actually RCZ has mentioned that already, multiple times. I suspect he'll be the first to have a custom-fabbed-up set of front brake ducts from the grill fangs to the rotors.

Sweet!

Sorry if I missed him mentioning it. What do you think of a beatrush underpanel for our cars though? Would be great for SRI's (more practical for a DD) since it sucks out heat soak from the engine bay.

This setup is for a 350z z33, so I am guessing they will do it for the 370z soon considering they have one for the GTR already O_o

There is also another thing you can do to suck the air out of the general wheel well area. You can make holes near the rear side of the wheel well, so the underbody can suck the air out. This will create enough pressure deviation (in theory) to suck air from outside the wheels into the wheel well and out of the wheel well. If you get a beatrush underpanel it could effectively suck more air out and if you plan to go turbo you will still have room for an intercooler since the traditional ram air system will be obsolete.

I have used many pads over the past 15 years of racing. These so far have been the best I have used and others agree on the reviews on my350z.

Sorry just speaking from experience.

I think it will be useful at the track but it's not going to be enough to overcome the current rotor deficiency in itself, the rotors need to be upgraded to something that doesn't melt at 500 degrees. It also wont be much use for auto-x because you're sitting still after each hot run. I'm going to try and borrow a pyrometer and record what temps things start to fall apart at.

Dude, I LOVE IT! You live on Brickell Key. I lived there for two years while I was in Miami. Rented a place at the Island Club. Man I miss living on that island...

hehe yup :)

Then say that and not just make smartass remarks so I know you have any idea what youre talking about. Its not that I assumed, it was that you gave no indication that you knew anything. I have tried the DS2500, I didn't like them. I have tried other ones like the cobalts and the hawks and I liked them a lot more.
